Study of cadences (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

den

'study' is the definition.
(term for a study or office)

'of cadences' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'DEN' is hidden within 'cadences'.

(Other definitions for den that I've seen before include "Wild animal's lair" , "Private office" , "Gentleman's study or animal's lair" , "Animals' shelter" , "Home of the beast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
